Which is best???

t c

Hi
When tuning in a sat receiver which is best, strength or quality of signal.

I have 70%strength and varies between 70 and 80% quality.

By changing LNB skew I can vary them but wondering which is best.

Thanks

Quality is the one.
But as you say you have Quality of between 70 and 80% that is well enough.
I would be worried with 30 to 35% quality
Don't be trying to get 100% strength and quality cos you wont get it

make sure your picking up the right satilite.

Thanks for that Rob.
Am using the Astra2 satellite Horse.

One more question. Have just got a new receiver that records and during set-up I have to enter a post code. What do I do, or do I just enter, say, a London post code?

Thanks again.

So it's probably a 'Freesat' receiver you have, yes you can input London postcode, in fact you can put any postcode you want in, but better if you can enter a 'North' postcode that way you will get the BBC NI's and UTV at the beginning of your list, try BT66 8BB

Cheers Rob.
Yes, it is a Freesat, Humax Foxsat, which I hope is as good as it's reviews claim.

It's one of the better 'freesat' ones but like most satellite receivers it has some bugs, best advice I can give you is "don't do anything too quickly" i.e. when channel hopping or going through the menus/epg e.t.c. take your time, don't rush it
